Don't Overthink It is here!

a lifestyle blog for book lovers

Readers, after years of thinking, dreaming, planning, writing, editing, marketing, contemplating, and occasionally freaking out, my new book Don’t Overthink It is finally here!

It’s available now for online ordering, waiting for you on bookstore shelves, maybe it’s even in your mailbox if you preordered. After years of working to bring this book to light, it’s both exhilarating and terrifying to have it finally out there in the world, and in your hands—and on your nightstand, on your e-reader, in your earbuds, the whole shebang.

By the time a book comes out, the writing has been done for a long time. That’s why launch day can feel strange for a writer. On the one hand, there’s very little for me to do. But on the other, I finally get to hear from you about this book I wrote. It’s a joy and a privilege and also downright scary to know that the words in this book make an actual difference in people’s lives. Maybe your life.

This book is called Don’t Overthink It. That topic sounds like a real downer, but this book is not. I hope you’ll find it illuminating, inspiring, practical, and full of joy, right from the get-go. That’s the reason I wrote this book: not to focus on the overthinking itself, but on how to put it aside in order to bring more peace, love, and joy into our lives.

If you identify as an overthinker, I hope you’ll snatch this book up immediately. (Don’t overthink it! If you only knew how many times my marketing department has made that joke this past year …)

If you don’t identify as an overthinker, I’m happy for you. And I want you to know that I’ve already talked to scores of readers (early reviewers, launch team members who got early copies, What Should I Read Next listeners who listened to me read Chapter 13 on the podcast) who said they didn’t consider themselves to be overthinkers, and yet the insights in this book are helping them immensely. I truly believe you can find at least one idea in here that will change your life in a way that’s worth 10 times the cover price.

What others are saying about Don’t Overthink It

Don’t just take my word for it: here’s what other smart people are saying about Don’t Overthink It:
